Next: I'm so excited for this. Big Finish really dropped the ball ten years ago on 'Zagreus', espescially after the brilliance of 'Neverland' and it's cliffhanger, which is my favorite in all of Who history. (Catching up to Big finish really quickly!) and i'm really excited to buy this one. The teaser is awesome!

Smith will be in the 2013 Christmas Special. After that, it is unknown, as his contract will expire next year, if I remember correctly.

Reece Shearsmith has been cast as actor Patrick Troughton in the TV movie An Adventure in Space and Time, which details the creation of Doctor Who. Troughton was the second actor to play the Time Lord in the long-running time travel show, taking over the role from William Hartnell in 1966. As previously announced, Harry Potter actor David Bradley has been cast as Hartnell.

Shearsmith is best known for appearing in the amazingly bizarre British sitcom The League of Gentlemen alongside An Adventure… screenwriter Mark Gatiss. “I first asked Reece about 12 years ago when I started thinking about this project,” Gatiss told Britain’s Radio Times. “We were in the midst of League of Gentlemen and I just remember thinking, if anyone plays Patrick Troughton, it should be Reece. Like the second Doctor, he’s small, saturnine and a comic genius.”

You can see behind-the-scenes footage from An Adventure in Space and Time and a League of Gentlemen episode below. The current season of Doctor Who will resume on BBC America March 30.

You know what I loved about the TARDIS set back in the 1st Doctor's era? That they built the sets to the planets right next to it, so you got these incredible shots of the gang walking out of the TARDIS onto a new world in a single camera shot.

JLC confirms that Matt Smith will be away in America for three months shooting his film, so it'll be August before they make the Christmas Special and at least September before they start shooting any of Series 8.

They'll have only shot ONE episode in EIGHT months(Anniversary special)

After that it's the Christmas special then straight to series 8 filming

Looks likely that Series 8 will be split too since there's only enough time(December to April) for at least 7 episodes in the can.

I'm way excited for AD ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME and never really cared for thos e extremely early eras of Doctor Who. He looks great as the first doctor. Hoping we get a trailer soon. Everything looks so...authentic. It's amazing. Hopefully we'll get sequels or follow-ups.
